So far it looks great! I don't know how to work with metal but damn it would feel good to make something myself that looked good enough to put on my car. When you are done paint it OB and PM me. THanx

I don't have the talent or the time to do something like this myself..well...more so the time. I can't say I don't have the talen cuz I've surprised myself over the years. But either way, I love to see these custom builds and especially given they look exactly how I would love mine to look. So much respect given cuz it's extra involved to start and complete a project like this. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, I'll probably end up buying the same fg trunk everyone else has and "making it fit". lol. If I keep my car till final stage (meaning I actually do everything I want to do to it before getting rid of it) I could totally see myself paying that (or more) for something custom like this.
